For us, joy and laughter are the means, not the end. Service to others is one of these joys. Paying attention to the gift, we are more a product of our decisions than our conditions. Personal freedom of choice is valued, as well as guiding patients with current knowledge. We pursue excellence through personal growth with continuing education. We fill patients' desires, not simply teeth.. Tom, a Seattle native, received undergraduate training in Environmental health and preventive medicine. He graduated Magna Cum laude after only three years of study. He received his initial dental training at the University of Washington. There, he performed research in root canals and autoimmunology. Graduating in 1977, he received his Doctorate of Dental Surgery and the University's single award for Oral Medicine. In the late 70's Tom ran two free clinics. After Vietnam, he was involved in the relocation and treatment of our Indochinese. Currently Tom enjoys his family, Nick, Alex, Debbie, and multiple family pets. A master in falconry and martial artist for over 35 years, he practices Chi Gong for health. Dentistry is not just his job, it's also one of his hobbies. Tom is a member of the Forensic Committee of the King County Dental Society. He is actively involved in sleep disorders and their resolution. Tom also writes a column for Planet Insights for kids of all ages. An estimated 40% of the US population experience chronic bad breath. Somewhere around 90% of the United States suffers from morning breath. Did you know that malodor is often the symptom of underlying disease? When not caused by local conditions, found in the mouth, medical disorders can be involved. The Halimeter is a scientific instrument which measures volatile sulfur gases present in the oral environment. These gases are the etiology of bad breath and a byproduct of food fueling bacterial metabolism. Perio Temp is a diagnostic device to read elevated temperatures of sulcus readings (gum pockets). This heat is an indicator of bacterial activity, and aids in identification of local causative factors. Intra oral color cameras, along with a thorough discreet patient history, will help treat malodor. Bad breath is not unique. It is treatable. Effective relief and home care will give us all fresher breath. We can recommend the proper form of treatment or medical referral.
